Homework

The purpose of homework is to provide opportunities to practice and improve skills or gain further knowledge or understanding. Homework also teaches lessons that cannot be measured: self-discipline, perseverance and time management. Homework teaches how to begin a task, complete it and be responsible for the outcome.

Homework will be assigned nearly every night.

Students must bring the assignment to class to get credit for it. No late homework accepted.

Homework will be corrected by the student in class and kept in the student's notebook or folder to use as a reference when preparing for tests or quizzes.

A homework grade will be based upon the completion of homework, not the amount of correct answers.

Grades/Extra Help Grades will be based on thestudent's performance on quizzes and tests, projects and homework completion. Students are encouraged to seek extra help as needed before quizzes or tests. Time can be set up during the school day or after school at a mutually agreed upon date.
